“ My wife and I went to dinner at another restaurant but it was so disappointed we had to leave and decided to come for desserts and coffee to Cru as it is my wife's favorite place This was an absolute home run (as usual). Great desserts, great service, great coffee. Loved it... we shall be back! ”
“ Awesome cocktails! Great selection of wine too. The food quality and service has really improved from before. Love the ambiance. ”
“ What an experience. The restaurant was tasteful and reasonably comfortable. Nice ambiance. We had to use valet parking, but at a place like this, it seems par for the course. Our server Al was wonderful. Not only is he quite knowledgeable, but the man is unfailingly kind. He added to the experience as much as the food. Speaking of: Fair warning - the prices here are up there, to be prepared to easily spend a couple hundred dollars on dinner for two. But know that you're paying for quality and creativity. Quantities are reasonable, and presentation is attractive. The other thing to note here is speed - or rather, the intentional lack thereof. There is a purposeful slowness here. You don't feel compelled to clear your plate and free up the table, and the courses are delivered with enough time in between that you do yourself a disservice if you don't take the time to appreciate the food. You can be here for two hours. Enjoy it. Overall, this is truly one of those rare "special occasions" places. We may only come once or twice each year, but I'd recommend Cru to anyone. ”
“ Cru Uncorked is probably the first place we've been to in Cleveland that lived up to the label of "fine dining". Our server was extremely knowledgeable about each of the dishes; I only wished we listened to more of her recommendations because the one dish we got that was among the ones she recommended was absolutely divine (soup of the day, which was a zucchini soup). She recommended each person get 3 courses, so that's what we did. The complimentary bread was probably the least memorable dish we had. It consisted of a slice of french bread, cranberry/walnut bread, and asiago bread. The bread was a bit hard and chewy for my taste. It was served alongside a port wine infused butter, which sounded nice in concept, but was unexpectedly bland. As for our remaining dishes... First Course: - Vol-au-vent Escargot - Soup of the day Second Course: - Seared Foie Gras - Crabmeat Saint Francis Third Course: - Coriander Duck Breast - Filet Au Poivre Dessert: Gateau Au Chocolat Unsurprisingly, the foie gras was my favorite, with the soup of the day being the unexpected close second. Every dish was perfectly executed and highlighted the best of each seasonal ingredient. The part that went wrong for me was getting multiple dishes with an apple component, which lost its magic pretty quickly; as such, I lamented at the lost potential of each dish. As for dessert, I highly recommend the Gateau Au Chocolat to all chocolate lovers out there. From the light cream to the dense cake, every part was unbelievably rich in chocolate flavor. The hazelnut crumble made it especially delightful. All in all, I'd dare say that the food was the best food I've had in Cleveland in all the years I've been here. Similarly, the ambiance was both cozy and elegant. The restaurant was divided into "little dining rooms", each with 4-5 tables and a fireplace, which is a real improvement from some upscale places where you still can't hold a proper conversation without yelling. This makes Cru Uncorked is the absolutely perfect place for a romantic dinner. Price was certainly hefty, but ultimately, it was worth every penny. Would 100% come again. ”
“ Superb service and excellent food per usual. We love coming here and can't wait to come back. Duck and halibut is a must here! Their duck was so juicy, I just wish there was more! ”
“ My aunt and I love our wine and this has quickly become our go-to dinner and drinks restaurant. Everyone is amazing (especially Rosie and Janine). The food is always outstanding and the wine list is the best in Cleveland. We are both vegetarians and they are beyond accommodating! For a special occasion, or just for a night out with a fellow wine lover, you cannot go wrong coming here. ”
“ My first time here and had an excellent experience. Came here for date night with hubby. The ambiance is good for a variety of occasions. There is a dark lounge type area for small gatherings. There is a bar area for a bit of a causal bite. We were seated in a large room with lots of natural light that was more formal. The staff were really kind, and service was timely. We got cocktails, which were yummy. We didn't try their wines this time, but will plan on doing that next time. We had the lamb tartare, and squash blossoms. I am officially a fan of squash blossoms now. Hubby had the duck, which was flavorful, and I had the Corn Agnolotti. Decent potion sizes for the price and we loved everything we ate. Telling everyone to come here, and can't wait to come back myself and try more. ”
“ Dinner here was a surprise in the best way! The ambiance is very nice, upscale, and even a little homey. We sat inside but had a great view of one of the outdoor patios. I would definitely like to come back and enjoy the outdoor space on a sunny day. The service started out a little slow as we sat for 5-10 minutes without receiving menus. However, our very personable waitress and the kind support staff made up for this little hiccup. Our waitress provided background on the restaurant, the menu, and excellent recommendations. We ordered the scallops based on her recommendation, and these were perhaps the best scallops I've ever had at a restaurant. The lobster crab cake appetizer was also a standout- flaky, flavorful, and overall delicious. ”
“ My friend and I were craving desserts and I knew Cru Uncorked was a hidden gem with this sort of thing. So were seated in a secluded area as requested on our reservation. Our waiter was amazingly thoughtful and kind. Excellent service from his end! He took my friends nut allergy into account and was trying his best to be as accommodating as possible. I also greatly appreciated the list of non alcoholic drinks! My friend thought her cappuccino was great! The chocolate stone was very rich and the mocha ice cream in a cone tasted great as well. Although, the $18 price seemed like a little too much for such a small serving. Although, I know the ambience is fine dining and should be expected. We came to celebrate my friends belated birthday and they were very kind and accommodating with a crème brûlée with a candle to blow out! I appreciate how the wait or noted the details on the reservation. I look forward to coming again one day and trying out the rest of the menu. ”
